In economics, Latent Demand is a demand for a good or service that cannot currently be satisfied due to price, product availability, or imperfect information. It can also be influenced by factors such as choice in related products; there may be latent demand for a DVD player, but without enough DVDs to use, the demand remains latent, that is, unrealized. Another example is that farmers might be willing to pay for accurate forecasts of drought, but because the technology does not yet exist, this demand remains latent.

It is related to the economic concept of induced demand.
